We should probably fix this, but it doesn't block the release.

Sounds like a back-end issue.

So IIUC from the description, the expected result here is that the browser ends up signed in to Sync with the newly-created account? I'm not 100% sure that that's actually expected/desired behavior in all cases, and I suspect that some discussions we have around "signing in to the browser" at the all-hands may affect what desired behavior is in this case.

The expected result is that the user would have the same registration experience- the same email, the same initial landing page from the email and the same messaging.
